Expense Is Without Limitations | When Capitalists Seek Choice Holdings In Powder River Field A race between capital, exem- plified in almost superhuman ef- forts to comply with the terms of a lease on valuable oil properties in Powder River Dome, and old King Boreas, who is inflicting this section with a spell of the most severe continuous wintry weather known in years, is being carried on in our midst, tho not known until this week. With the warm rays of Old So} the past few days, who is beginning to smile most be- nignly, seemingly to assist the Her- culean efforts of man and beast to wrest victory from what to many seems absolute defeat, indications | ties, and the very favorable report on them by highly qualified geolo- gists, and sought a transfer of the lease by Mr. Dutton, but the latter declined, feeling confident of his ability to have one of his rigs in ac- tion on the properties by December 29, 1916, the original date of the expiration of the lease. Once more things went against him, machin- ery troubles caused vexatious de- lays, and it seemed as tho Fate had dacvead that he should lose the valuable lease. With conditions explained, an extension of 30 days was granted by the Associated company, upon NUMBER 74 ALLIES WAITING ON COLOSSAL GERMAN OFFENSIVE MOVE |London Believes Motive Which Prompted Teutons to Make | Peace Overtures Also } Inspires Giant Move |ATTEMPT TO BREAK LINES Active Interchange of Artillery Fir- ing Marks Hostilities in Vicinity of Daumont; Outposts En- arged Near Vaux ¥ By the !'nited Press fav capital will acc lish its the learn: of which Mr. Rispin | By the United Press Wood bronght the names of hi ‘ov-| the man whom he took to the apart- 73 3 ‘favor capital will accomplish its e lea ng Mr. sp f : ernment officials aad big pila a 'ments of the Colbert woman Thurs- McALESTER, Okla., Jan. 5.—F if-) aim. summoned Mr. Dutton to Denver, LONDON, Jan. 5,—That Germany to the so-called “leak” probe today,|‘#y night, and the detectives working '**" children we dead and sight oth: | And in this struggle is again | and, after negouawons, sub- |is preparing to inaugurate a colossal = d wien . siajion the case say tMat Lewis’ hair *T® @f@ seriously injured as a result! chown that capital, once satisfied leased Sections 18 and 24 from tensive ke.

SECOND TRIAL OF BOMB THROWERS ON |Four Men and One Woman Ac- cused of Perpetrating Act Which Resulted in the Death of Ten By the United Press. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Jan. £ with the adjoining two sections, 13 and 24, in Twp. 40 N., Rge. 81 W., was leased by Mr. Dutton on most favorable terms from the company, which was represented by its presi- dent, Chas. Liebenstein, in the transaction, some two months ago. At tha@ time Mr. Dutton’s com- pany had a National No. 2 rig in its yards here and intended to imme-,. diately begin operations. Just then his company was given the contract for drilling two wells to the shallow sands in the Big Mud- dy field. Throwing another Na- tional No. 2 rig into action, no doubt was entertained about being able to complete the two wells in the Big Muddy field, and getting one of the rigs to the Powder River Dome in time to meet the re- quirements of the lease, but Fate decreed otherwise. Just as the lease was expiring, trouble yes en- countered in both the Muddy wells Spring; to the south is the Wyo- ming Philadelphia Company hold- ings, to the east the properties of the Great Divide Oil Company of Denver, and directly north lie the 1,600 acres which are being leased by Mr. Liebenstein to one of the strongest syndicates of oil operators of Pittsburg, Pa. In speaking of the occurrence Mr. Dutton said: “With properties so favorably reported on, so choicely located, and with such high-class neigh- bors, it isn’t going to be a ques- tion of money, work or hours to hold that lease. Unforeseen con- ditins prevented our operations being under way at the first spec- ified time, but Mr, Liebenstein has no doubt been up against just such things in his years of expe- rience in the game, and is co%op- erating fully with me, and, unless the great unexpected happens, I | Daumont. jis intended to constitute Germany's reply to England’s recent note on peace.
